Larian boss Swen Vincke calls out pretty much the entire videogame industry at The Game Awards

Vincke returned to The Game Awards to share the secret formula of running a successful studio: "It's stupidly simple, but it keeps on getting lost."

What he said applies to business everywhere.

Not all businesses. There are some that are actually non profit.

thorstein397d ago

But companies can be for profit and not be scumbags.

Profchaos397d ago (Edited 397d ago )

Non profits are more for profit than you realise. Non profit execs are hardly rolling up to work in a Toyota Carolla

robtion397d ago

True. The gaming industry is being pretty proactive in pioneering new forms of greed through the miracle of technology though.

That was a GOAT move. I hope he’s careful, they’ll be after him now.

VenomUK397d ago

I came to say the same thing. How long before people start calling him arrogant and the games media start running stories about a complaint from someone in his studio? BioWare bent the knee to them all, Larian has not.

Michiel1989397d ago

He won't care and will keep doing what he does best, making awesome games and amazing vlogs about it. If you watch his DOS 2 vlogs, you can see how passionate he is about it and I don't think anyone or anything can affect him as long as he gets to make the games he want.

Christopher397d ago

I'm after him right now. I'm watching his every move. Paying attention to everything his company is doing. Keeping an eye out for any news on their next game.

BlaqMagiq1397d ago

Larian is a private company so they can't do anything to him or his company. He will continue to show the industry how game making should be done and continue to speak out as he deserves to.

Armaggedon397d ago

What hes saying is true. Too many “games” are money making schemes disguised as video games. Bu this is the nature of how people are: They see success and then attempt to cop it, but without the soul and passion that led to the success.

RhinoGamer88397d ago

This honesty will get you blacklisted FAST in the games, or really any industry, you can do this move...only if you have $$$ in the bank.

bananacrust397d ago

well considering he the majority stakeholder in Larian, I doubt he gives a shit
